The title might look like some sort of algebra problem, but here's the deal: Cage never finished One13, but evidence suggests that the piece was intended for solo cello with three prerecorded cellos composed entirely of single tones. Furthermore, it seems that each cello would play the same pitches for approximately the same duration, each with a slightly different timbre. So, Glenn Freeman comes along and decides to use the time structure from Cage's One7 as a skeleton for the sonic material that was supposedly intended for the unfinished One13. Get it? And for the Cage purists out there, the CD also contains a straight up performance of One8. It's cello bliss-out time. —RN
